the front and at the rear, the toe angle is
set correctly. If the two distances differ
by more than 2mm, the toe angle must
be readjusted.
A sudden change of the
toe angle is an indication
that some component of
the chassis was deformed and thus
might fail in further use. Therefore, if
the toe angle is misaligned, let your
b a
be checked by your dealer
before further use.
A wrong toe angle implies
higher rolling resistance
and higher tire wear. Please
check regularly if the toe angle is still
set correctly.
Adjusting the toe angle
To adjust the toe angle, first lock out

the tilt (see section Tilt lock p.18) and
fix the handlebars in forward position.
Then loosen both lock nuts 2 of the tie
rod ends 1 of the right tie rod fig. 15,
p. 32.Now turn the tie rod 3 , until
the right front wheel points exactly into
forward direction. A counterclockwise
rotation (when looking outwards)
moves rotates the front wheel to the
left (inwards) a clockwise rotation to
the right (outwards). When the wheel
is properly aligned the tie rod has to
be locked. To this end tighten the outer
lock nut 2 with 3Nm. Make sure, that
the tie rod does not rotate w.r.t. the
tie rod end while tightening the lock
nut, as this would again misalign the toe
angle. Having locked the outer tie rod

end, hand tighten the inner tie rod end’s
lock nut and rotate the tie rod as far as
possible forward and backward fig. 16,
p. 32. This assures that the right and
left tie rod end have the correct angle
(about. 30°) w.r.t. each other. Now fix
the inner tie rod end by tightening the
lock nut with 3Nm. make sure that the
angle between both tie rod ends does
not change while tightening the lock nut.
Now the left tie rod has to be adjusted.
To this end loosen both lock nuts of the
left tie rod. To properly adjust the toe
angle, measure the distance between
the rim shoulder of the left and right
front wheel, once at the foremost
position of the wheels and once at the
rearmost position. The difference should
be at most 2mm. If the difference is
